Sharing location data: Note that addresses and other personal information may be inferred from
the location data stored in track logs or embedded in images.
Exercise caution when sharing
images and track logs or when posting them to the Internet or other locations where they can
be viewed by third parties.
See “Disposing of Data Storage Devices” (0 xiii) for information on
erasing location data before disposing of the camera or memory cards.

FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Notices for Customers in Canada
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this

operation of the device.
FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with
using low power wireless devices.
There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless
devices are absolutely safe.
Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency
energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used.
Whereas high levels of RF can produce
health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating
effects causes no known adverse health effects.
Many studies of low-level RF exposures have
not found any biological effects.
Some studies have suggested that some biological effects
might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.
The D5300,
which is equipped with a LBWA1U5YR1 (FCC ID: VPYLBYR650/IC ID: 772C-LBYR650) wireless
LAN module, has been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set
forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure
Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure
rules.
Please refer to the SAR test report that was uploaded to FCC website.
xviii
Notices for Customers in Europe
Hereby, Nikon, declares that the D5300 is in compliance with the essential
requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC.

Notice for Customers in Singapore
This device complies with radio-frequency regulations. The content of certification labels not
affixed to the device is given below.
Security
Although one of the benefits of this product is that it allows others to freely connect for the
wireless exchange of data anywhere within its range, the following may occur if security is not
enabled:
Data theft: Malicious third-parties may intercept wireless transmissions to steal user IDs,
passwords, and other personal information.
Unauthorized access: Unauthorized users may gain access to the network and alter data or
perform other malicious actions.
Note that due the design of wireless networks, specialized
attacks may allow unauthorized access even when security is enabled.
